Overpopulation

People make such a big deal about the way countries, such as China,deal with overpopulation. Obviously, there's too many people, and families want their last name to be passed down. The only way for that to happen is for them to literally discard their daughters onto the streets. They keep their sons to keep the family name, while the infants and children fend for themselves, eventually getting forced into child labor. If they're lucky. As I said, people make a big deal about this, and they should. It's wrong, simply put. What kind of parent throws away a child like they're some sort of object or an unwanted gift? I'm not quite sure what I would do to solve an overpopulation problem. Every solution I can think of are rather unethical and inhumane. The first thing I think of is start a military draft, but a more reasonable one would be to offer overseas jobs in order to get more people out of the country. Another way would be to issue a law say that familes may not have more than 1 or 2 kids. None of these so-called "solutions" seem effective or beneficial. I honestly would know what to do, which is good, because I don't plan on ever having to solve the problem.
